Mesnier served as chef for the U.S. White House from 1979-2006, where he served five American presidents and their families as well as dignitaries, royalty and heads of state. Hired in 1979 by first lady Rosalyn Carter, he became the first ever non-American to serve in the White House and went on to become the longest tenured chef ever--pastry or culinary--in the history of the White House.
